Sleep training

Read the sleepeasy solution. You can get it on amazon. Sleep training essentially teaches kids to get to sleep on their own - without help of anyone or any sleep aids (like nursing, swaddling etc). There are different methods to teach kids. I have used sleepeasy solution 3 times and will use it again soon for my current may baby. Good luck. :)

I'm getting ready to start implementing the Sleepeasy Solution with my little guy. I'm going to speak to his pediatrician before doing so, but I'm wondering what your experiences have been with night feeds? I truly don't mind if he feeds once or twice still since he has always been petite. Would I just need to keep dream feeds an hour before his usual wake time as suggested? I appreciate any insight you have. Even if it is very long winded and detail oriented - actually... I'd appreciate that a whole lot! :)

Sleep training refers to any method that seeks to address the reasons why your child isn't sleep, isn't sleeping well or wakes frequently. It can involve anything from setting routines, giving sleep cues (such as a bath), avoiding "sleep crutches" by making sure they go down awake, and/or it can address a "sleep crutch" itself....usually this involves some degree of letting the infant "figure it out" (i.e., some degree of letting them cry is usually, but not always, involved).

Some popular books/approaches include: solve your child's sleep problems (Ferber). Healthy sleep habits, happy baby (or something like that)wiesbluth, the sleep sense method (obalman), no cry sleep solution (Patley). Some are more effective than others, depending on the problem you are trying to solve.

Hi there! It's just me bothering you again. :) We started implementing the methods in the Sleep Easy Solution on Friday night. Little man goes to sleep at night with minimal crying already, but last night he woke up 8 times still. He put himself back to sleep each time so I'm quite impressed! I'm wondering if you have any input on how long it took your little ones to wake less at night? Also... naps may be the death of us. I know it says to expect that they will be harder, but oh my. Any input/support/tips would be greatly appreciated by this sleepy mama!

I haven't done any official sleep training yet, but the fb group "precious little sleep" is really helpful. I think the admins may be sleep consultants. There are links and helpful things in the files section and people ask questions all day everyday. You should request to join!
